"LETTERS FROM CAMP"
First Sox He Ever Sun Across
With Fingers Knitted
In 'Em
Camp Zach.. Sept. Something. 1?1S.
Dear Mae I received the wonderful
ox and earmuff that you knitted, but
I'.du't get the sweater. Either it evap
rated or you knitted it with drop
ped stitches. The sox were beautiful,
rut I can't understand why you made
iiem both for the left foot. The
Irst time that I wore tLem I wis
a led by the second loot for not
tznding at attention properly. He
aid that my feet were at ease, but
f they "were at ease, I can tell you
hat they didn't feel that way. Furth
ermore, they are the Erst sox that
i ever saw which had fingers knitted
n 'em. Are they wearing 'em that
a-ay this season?
The earmuff was splendid, but why
r.ly one? You know that both my
ars are in the army. It is a trifle
varm for earmuffs at present, but I
an use it for a barracks bag until
he cold weather sets in. However, all
he articles were magnificent, the only
hiag wrong with Via was the color.
The next time you knit me mittens
?r earmuffs don't pick out cerise or
icarlet. They don't do it that way in
;he artillery. Try to pick out some
Mher color, as I can't stand at Inspec
tion ith a pair of sox era sweater

I admit that I am a hero as the

somebody has to suffer for his coun

The Notre Dame coach is p'anning
on making the trip to I.lnco'n with

here fr a minute. He has run into
.he same mud hole of inactivity dur
ing the last few weeks that tho Corn
huski rs have. The TIrosiers were
hflled to play the Chicago naval re
sents last Saturday. Octoer 19. and
he sailors were ia Sou;h Bend ready
for the fray, when tho Indiana state
board of health urged that all foo
ball games for Saturday le called off.
They were also forced to give up
heir match set for tomorrow with the
Great Lakes Jackies because of the
state-wide quarantine at Indiana. This
yies them a clean slate for the last
ieveral weeks without even a scrim
image with an outside school. With
a who'e week of inactivity against

a far better show when tne two teams!
SOME POINTERS FROM
GRFAT JEHTHftT CAN
WEIL BE OBSERVED
1. You cannot push anyone
up a ladder unss he is willing
to c'.irab a little "aimself.
2. Make the most out of
yourfelf. for that !. all there
i5 of you.
Whe you have done a
cood thing don't stop to talk
alv.ut it do another.
4. The rewarJ of a thing
weH done is to have done it.
5. Worry is a stcond mort
rape ith a high rate of inter
est. 6. The difference between
ere man and another is not
mere ability it is energy.
T. It is easier to do a thing
right than to expia'n why you
did it wrong.
S. The war inside of you
needs winning too.
9. Great men work as those
who know that the night is com
ing in which no aian can work.

NEWSIES PROFITEERING
SELLING PAPERS AND
CANDIES TO SOLDIERS
Lincoln newsboys are making huge
war profits by selling their goods to
student soldiers. Their supply in
eludes daily papers, candies, peanut-s
and fruit. The soldiers after a long
hike or after hard drill make good
customers and buy from the newsies
large quantities of the sweets. They
also sell their services and run trans-
oortable shoe-shining stands.
One lad claimed that he made over
seven dollars in one day. Many oth
ers are making more money than
they ever dreamed existed in the
world. When asked what they are
going to do with their newly acquired
wealth, some h:.ve it spent several
times before they get it. Some of
them say that they are going to hirn
j their receipts over to their mothers,

A special training table has been
set up for the football men in the mess

regular training diet. Beefsteaks,
vegetables, and fruits and the like are
on their menu and they are denied
rich dainties.

schools. Yesterday some men receiv
ed orders to leave almost Immediately,
but headquarters did roi wish to give
out the names or the number of men
sent, as pivlng information on the
movement of troops is against mili
tary practice, at least until two or
three days after the men have left.
The last men to leave were of the
coast artillery branch.
IVTen are continually being cal'.ed
! before Captain E. J. Maclvor to an
I swer questions by which he deter
j mines who to recommend for future
officers. That some men left Thurs
I day to go out of the state. Is evi
dence that the quarantine order over
the state does not stop the move
ment of Uncle Sam's army. There
fore, the men who have been already
selected for officers' camps but have
not received orders to move, can ex
pect them any day, at any time, and
should be ready to deport on a mo
ment's warning.
Drilling Showing Results
The few weeks of drill that the men
have had so far is beginning to show
results. In' the afternoon drill after
; the usual parade, the men passed in
review before Captain Maclvor, and
from a distance the movements seem-
! ed skillfully executed although at
close range, due to short practice,
there could be noticed several breaks.
Before long the men will have re
hearsed the various orders so many
times that they will execute them as
second nature.
ARMY Y. M. C. A. TO HAVE
NEW FEATURE INSTALLED
Will Remodel Reading- Rooir. and
Add a "Self -Teaching:"
French Courss
The army Y. M. C. A, which is h--
coming more and more appreciated by
the men at the university camp, has
plans now under way to provide
more space for the writing of letters
in the "Y" reading room, and t in
stall what ha been termed a "se'f
ieaching" French courre This meth
od consists of a phonograph wi'h rec
ords of French wunds and words.
Books of French grra-nmar that ar?
eif-exp'anatory will be available. A
-ocm will be set aside ?i the Temple
for this study. This p'an Is said to
t?e in successful practice In other
camps.
Because of the large crowds that
are now taking advantage of the read
ing and writing room at the army
"Y," the secretaries have ordered a
change in the writing fa.-ilitl-s. New
writing tables will be built around
the sides of the room, making it pos
sible to accommodate about twice as
many men or more ts can now be
taken care of at one time.
At times when the men are off duty,
the "Y" is crowded with men. some
studying, some writing home, some
reading, and others wh Just want
"some place to go." Both at home
ar.d abroad the army Y. M. C. A. is
doing. In this way. a grat work ti
